ANTM 11.01: “The Notorious Fierce Fourteen” & ANTM 11.02: “Top Model Inauguration”

The CW has released the description of the two-hour premiere of Cycle 11 of America’s Next Top Model.
CYCLE 11 KICKS OFF IN LOS ANGELES WITH A TRANSGENDER CONTESTANT
In the cycle 11 season premiere, 30 girls are selected to strike their fiercest pose at the Top Model Institute of Technology. A hi-tech runway analyzes the girls strut & Tyra, Miss J and Jay Manuel assess which 14 show the most Top Model potential. One of the models making waves causes a stir when she reveals that she’s transgender! Once the finalists have been hand picked, the ladies move into their house and tackle their first photo challenge: turning hot button political issues into hot pictures. After the judges deliberate, the first of the fourteen is sent packing.
Tyra Banks, Paulina Porizkova, J. Alexander and Nigel Barker are the judges.
So it sounds like this year’s first-episode theme is “technology.” Or “the future.” I guess that explains the latex body suits who catch glimpses of in the preview!
But haven’t they done hot-button issues before, in Cycle 9? With Kathleen, the greatest contestant possibly ever, portraying anti-fur? I wonder what issues Tyra will pick this time!
It could be a single-issue shoot, like Cycle 9’s smoking shoot. What hot-topic issue involves latex bodysuits? Any suggestions?
America’s Next Top Model premieres September 3 at 8pm!
Watch the premiere with Top Model Gossip via Live blog!
Are you joking about Kathleen? I can’t tell! Yeah they did do this in Cycle 8 with stuff like Pro Choice and Pro Life. I’m so excited!!!!
Kathleen was amazingly hilarious and I would have loved to see her stick around longer, for entertainment value only…however, in terms of modeling, she was totally the right choice to go.
maybe its an abortion shoot and they will be dressed like fetuses
Hey Erin have you seen or bought the Us Weekly with Top Model stuff in it?
So is this cylce being filmed in LA or NYC??
